Abstract

A pressure-receiving member (26) that can be moved along an urging axial center (Q), and a compression coil spring (48) for urging the pressure-receiving member (26) in the direction of an engaging body (24), are provided between the engaging body (24) in an inside end position of an operating rod (20) and a bottom wall part (13B) of a casing (10). A plurality of protruding pieces (60) for restricting tilting by making contact with the pressure-receiving member (26) is provided to the internal surface of a cylindrical part (56A) of a rotor (56) that engages and integrally rotates with engaging pieces (24A) of the external periphery of the engaging body (24).
